Second time I tryed to shoot a group it was a plain old white paper target and yea I could see my hits too confirm if I was correct with my dial in are if my wind hold was correct.
Just more interested in what types of paper targets most folks who shoot at 600 yard for groups tend to use. Trying to figure out a color layout on a paper target that might help me. Like a big black X ring type are if I should just order up some big shoot and see targets like what was up on the target board for my first attempt.
A5B:
I have picked up 6.5 and .30 cal holes at 600 using a Shoot N See bullseye that was very close in size to a 300 yard center. Very peculiar lighting conditions with the sun behind me and somewhat low. Also not real hot so no mirage. Most of the time it would be a No Go. Not even with a very good Kowa spotting scope. Have also picked them up at 600 on white paper but again, very unique conditions and not for long. Shoot N See is a better bet but I doubt you will have much luck with them at 600. Desert at sunrise with the sun behind you -- no wind -- probably.
Steel painted white -- you will probably see something but if there is mirage -- probably not.
